"Ladies and gentlemen, this is Korean Air Flight 007 from New York to Seoul, South Korea, and now, after a short stop in Alaska, we are about to take off again, please fasten your seat belts, our plane is about to take off."

For example, if you want to fly from New York to the capital of South Korea, you don't fly directly over the Pacific Ocean, but first fly north, fly to Alaska and then turn back.

This makes it possible to take full advantage of the high latitudes, allowing the aircraft to travel shorter routes, save a lot of fuel, and at the same time, make it easier to refuel on the way, which is too difficult to find a place to refuel if it is across the Pacific Ocean.

At this time, the Boeing 747 passenger plane was preparing for takeoff, and the captain Park Zhengyi was wearing a neat uniform, sitting in his place, watching the co-pilot Qian Bingyin on the side methodically flip each switch, and then, the engines on both sides roared one by one.

Two years ago, Park Zhengyi, piloting a Boeing 707 airliner, overcame navigation failures and, with the help of an American, managed to save the life of the plane and the entire crew.

When he returned, Park was rewarded by Korean Air and qualified to fly a Boeing 747 from one of the few places.

This is the forty-fourth flight of Park Jeong, and as an experienced captain, Park is very satisfied with his current life.

Park Jeong-yi looked at the scenery on both sides of the runway and quickly retreated, and then, as soon as the fuselage was light, the huge Boeing 747 passenger plane flew off the runway.

It was a large commercial wide-body airliner developed by Boeing in the late sixties, and since its appearance, it has dominated the record for the highest passenger capacity for decades.

At the same time, as the most suitable flight platform, it is also suitable for the US Air Force to be converted into a variety of military aircraft, such as early warning aircraft and electronic warfare aircraft, air tankers and so on.

Now, with the take-off of the plane, Park Zhengyi breathed a sigh of relief, in fact, being the captain is the most relaxed, and everything is operated by the co-pilot on his side.

This co-pilot is the first time to partner with Park Zhengyi, but his take-off skills are quite good, and he is definitely a veteran. To be honest, flying a passenger plane is simply too easy and simple.

He stretched out his arm and shouted behind him, "Get me a cup of coffee." ”

With the voice, a girl in a flight attendant uniform walked in, holding a cup of coffee in her hand smoothly and handed it to Park Jeong.

The Boeing-747 is a fairly smooth aircraft, and even drinking coffee in a cockpit full of instruments and switches is no problem.

"Stabilize the direction and fly towards 245." Park Jeong-yi said to his co-pilot, and then picked up the coffee cup beautifully.

"Understood." The co-pilot skillfully operated the compass and fixed the bearing at 245 degrees.

At this time, the passenger plane was flying smoothly at an altitude of 10,000 meters.

Alaska, the radar station of the US Air Force "King Samon".

"Why did this civil airliner deviate from its route?" A radar soldier said.

Through the friend or foe identifier, you can identify your own aircraft and enemy aircraft, and at the same time, you can also identify ordinary passenger aircraft, and now, the flight path of this passenger plane has deviated.

"There is only a difference of twenty kilometers, and it is left alone, maybe the pilot of the airliner was negligent." Another radar soldier said.

They are military aircraft of the Air Force that monitor the sky, and although they can clearly see it on the radar, they have no control over it and are not obliged to issue warnings.

There are air traffic controllers on the ground, so didn't the air traffic control personnel find out?

The initial course deviation, after a long course, will appear a huge deviation, as if it were two rays, starting from the same point, but the direction is slightly different, and the further forward, the greater the deviation will be.

However, the air traffic control also seemed to ignore that when the Korean Air flight was displayed on the air traffic control radar, the error was only 10 kilometers, and the air traffic control glanced at it and began to greet other planes.

At an altitude of 10,000 meters, Flight 007, which had already deviated from its course, flew towards its unknown fate.

"What are your hands shaking?" After drinking the coffee, Park Zhengyi glanced at his co-pilot, at this time, the co-pilot's hand was on the accelerator stick in the middle, and he was actually trembling slightly?

Qian Bingyin showed a smile: "Really? I was just humming a song from my hometown in my heart, and before I knew it, my hands were moving. ”

Park Zhengyi also smiled: "Pop rock lately, do you sing rock songs?" When the flight is over, let's go to KTV to sing a song and take our flight attendants on the plane. ”

After saying that, Park Zhengyi made an expression to Cheon Byung-in that you know, the captain and the flight attendant, there are many stories that have to be told.

"Okay." Cheon Byung-in replied easily.

The airliner continued to fly forward, and with the accumulation of time, its route has deviated significantly, it was supposed to fly from the southern sea of the Kamchatka Peninsula, but now, on its course, it has been aimed at the southern land edge of the Kamchatka Peninsula.

The Kamchatka Peninsula is bordered by the Sea of Okhotsk to the west and the Pacific Ocean and the Bering Sea to the east. It is the second largest peninsula in the Soviet Union. Volcanoes and climatic conditions are not suitable for human habitation, and fishing is the only important economic activity, especially coastal crab fishing. There is also a small amount of agriculture and cattle and reindeer herding.

The permanent population of the entire peninsula is very small, and at the same time, its strategic location is quite important, and it is on this volcanic peninsula that there are Soviet ICBM positions.

At the same time, interceptor units and long-range warning radar units of the Territorial Defense Force are also deployed here.

At this time, near the city of Petropavlovsk, Kamchatka, there was a large radar station, the radar was constantly rotating, and in the radar room, a Soviet radar soldier kept looking at the radar screen in front of him.

"Discover a target, break into our air defense identification zone." The radar soldier shouted: "It is flying over us, report to your superiors immediately!" ”

Soon, in a nearby air defense base, a Su-15 interceptor slid from the runway, took off quickly, and the tail sprayed flames, and the Fine-spouted Bottle fighter began its own interception.

At the same time, on the screen of the radar soldier, the target is still continuing to fly towards itself, no, the Su-15 is too slow, if only there was a MiG-25!

The interceptor was a unique type of Soviet, and for the vast Soviet Union, it was quite important to have a fighter capable of reaching the target at a speed of more than Mach 2.

Now, when the Su-15 slowly lifted off, the target, which had already skimmed the southern part of the Kamchatka Peninsula, disappeared from the radar screen.

Immediately inform the rear that its course is facing your own Sakhalin Island!
